    Duchesse De Bourgogne gets an "outstanding" rating and a score of 92 from Beer Advocate reviewers, but it certainly didn't work for me.

    What's a very well regarded beer that you just didn't like?

    SN Bigfoot. And I've learned to like many Barleywines.

    Chimay Blue - I've tried it on a few occasions, by no means a bad beer, but I don't like it enough to purchase it over some other BSDAs on the market

    Sculpin - several IPAs I would drink before this

    Kane Mexican Brunch gets great ratings. It's so sweet I couldn't finish a 4oz taster.

    Bell's Oracle, Founders Breakfast Stout, 3 Floyds Alpha King & Yum Yum, DFH 60/90/120 all come to mind

    Parabola, BCBS, KBS...the fist 2-3 sips were good but these beers are just too sweet and boozy for me, it was a chore to finish the KBS and BCBS, had to drain pour the second half of the Parabola.

    DFH Palo Santo Marron, this stuff is just gross, one sip and it was down the drain.

    Westbrook Gose. Felt like it hit me over the head with salt & lactic acid, would not call this "refreshing" or "drinkable" as so many others have.

    I totally second this. I just don't get the PSM love and WWS is just so undrinkable. I actually think 120 Minute is more drinkable than WWS.

    Founders Breakfast Stout. It's always harsh and burnt-tasting to me.

    I don't get Parabola, The Abyss, or KBS (though I did really enjoy KBS on draft couple times).

    Heady. I certainly did not think it was bad, but with all the hype I was kind of expecting Angels to sing when I had my first can. But I was admittedly underwhelmed.

    I just had my first Breakfast Stout a few days ago and I absolutely loved it. But I can understand why you felt it was too harsh and burnt tasting

    Westy 12. I haven't had many traditional quads so that has something to do with it.
